The song has been performed over 300 times in the first decade and a half since its original release. Its lyrics are rooted in athletics and the inherent determination and work ethic required as central themes, in accordance with the song serving as the theme to numerous swimming competitions. The tribulations of difficult training and great rewards that await are voiced directly in the lyrics, which has made the song an inspirational choice not just for athletes but students as well. During live performances from 2002 onward, it is customary for Koshi to make his way to Tak during the final bridge in order for Tak to shout "Hey!" into the microphone, while audience members and the band jump during the "urutora soul, hey!" moments of the chorus and outro. </del>The song has been reworked and revised numerous times since release, with an [[GOLD|acoustic version]], an [[GREEN|alternate solo version]], a [[B'z (International EP)|LIVE-GYM-based studio version]], a [[C'mon|hard rock version]], and an [[B'z (English Album)|English version]].</div></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>#: [[File:s31_01.ogg]] <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">{{</ins>ultra soul <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Song}} </ins>The song has been reworked and revised numerous times since release, with an [[GOLD|acoustic version]], an [[GREEN|alternate solo version]], a [[B'z (International EP)|LIVE-GYM-based studio version]], a [[C'mon|hard rock version]], and an [[B'z (English Album)|English version]].</div></td></tr>

The first revision came not a year after the initial release as a B-side to the next single, "[[GOLD]]".

For its first album appearance, an "Alternative Guitar Solo ver." appeared on ''[[GREEN]]'' with a new guitar solo. Five years later, B'z would release an [[B'z (International EP)|international iTunes EP]] that was released only in the United States and Europe. This was more of a [[LIVE-GYM]] version created in the studio, featuring full bass, guitar, and drums as if it were being played live. In 2011, an all-new hard-rock version appeared as "ultra soul 2011" for the year's studio album ''[[C'mon]]''. At the end of the year, in a [[Music for Relief's Secret Show for Japan|joint show with Linkin Park]] to benefit victims of the then-recent tsunami in Japan, B'z unveiled an [[Ultra Soul (English Version) (Lyrics)|English version of the song]] that would be officially release the following summer on the band's [[B'z (English Album)|self-titled debut English album]]. The English reversion retains many of the elements of "ultra soul 2011" but has a rawer sound overall.
